Overview
This HTS classification, 7226.91.80.00, specifically covers flat-rolled products of other alloy steel that are not further worked than hot-rolled, have a thickness of less than 4.75 mm, and crucially, possess a width of less than 300 mm. These are typically steel products where the alloying elements (beyond the basic iron and carbon) contribute to enhanced properties such as strength, hardness, or corrosion resistance, and they have undergone a hot-rolling process without subsequent significant finishing operations.
The defining characteristic of this category, distinguishing it from its sibling 7226.91.70.00, is the width dimension. While both fall under "Of a thickness of less than 4.75 mm" and are other alloy steel products hot-rolled and not further worked, this specific classification applies only to those with a width strictly under 300 mm. This width threshold is a key determinant in ensuring accurate customs declaration and duty assessment.
As a leaf node within the HTS structure, 7226.91.80.00 does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, classification within this code relies entirely on meeting the explicit criteria outlined: being an "other alloy steel," "flat-rolled," "not further worked than hot-rolled," with a "thickness of less than 4.75 mm," and a "width of less than 300 mm." Examples of goods that would fall here include certain types of steel strips or narrow coils intended for manufacturing purposes where these specific dimensions and alloy compositions are required.
